Which begs the question; Why so many air intakes?

Ignoring the 4 obvious LARGE intakes and the APU intake,
there seems to be redundancies for the redundant holes.
Two of them might possibly be lights, but I doubt it.

Anyone? TIA

Considering the large amount of electronic equipment
onboard I suspect APU and massive air conditioning
unit to keep said electronics cool..
radar units , computers CRTs take a lot of cooling..

looking at several other photos of the plane both on the ground
and videos , show covers in several of those inlets on the ground
and lights in the 4 indicated positions.


Perhaps the crew are heavy smokers. Those Russian cigarettes do make a
hell of stink!
